The .40-70 will reach the buffalo sitting on the hill at 1100+ yards on the Shiloh range with out any problem. I have put many lead splatters on that iron using the .40-70. It also ran the 1000 yard iron at Alliance and many consecutive hits on that target during the practice before the match.
But I gave it up in favor of the .50-2.5 for it's wind holding capabilities over the .40 and .45-90 and the .50 did well for me at the Q and other gong matches I shot it in, but don't cut the .40-2.5 short. Its a fine shooter.

The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
